The Seminar will begin in Washington, DC. It will take place from July 6 - 24, 2015. Participants should plan to arrive in Washington, DC on or before July 6th so they may have an opportunity to rest before beginning the program.

During the Seminar, participants will visit Washington, DC, four National Forests, including two Wilderness areas, the Flathead Indian Reservation, rural communities in western Montana, and Yellowstone National Park.
